Sleeping Beauty or Briar Rose by The Brothers Grimm - FAB

Sleeping Beauty (French: La Belle au bois dormant "The Beauty sleeping in the Wood") by Charles Perrault or "Little Briar Rose" by the Brothers Grimm is a classic fairy tale involving a beautiful princess, enchantment of sleep, and a handsome prince.

Written as an original literary tale, it was first published by Charles Perrault in Histoires ou contes du temps passé in 1697.
The Brothers Grimm included a variant, Little Briar Rose, in their collection (1812). It truncates the story as Perrault and Basile told it to the ending now generally known: the arrival of the prince concludes the tale.

Some translations of the Grimm tale give the princess the name Rosamond. The brothers considered rejecting the story on the grounds that it was derived from Perrault's version, but the presence of the Brynhild tale convinced them to include it as an authentically German tale. Still, it is the only known German variant of the tale, and the influence of Perrault is almost certain.
